Rank Movement of Small International Domains (Below top 20 domains)

The rest of the world enters front and center stage.

20th and below most popular
top-level domain names in top 500

  • Obvious explosive growth.
  • From a handful of small international sites in July of 2004 to an impressive spread of sites in top 500 by January 2007 (6 to 72, more than 1000% growth)

(includes: pl, cz, nl, mx, vn, sa, ar, gr, in, cc, be, eg, la, ch, ae, cl, ve, th, sg, dk, pt, lt, hu, ac, nz, bg, sk, pe, my, ro, to, sc, co, ws, ie, id, cr, ua, lv, hr, do, cx, st, za, ma, fm, fi, uy, at)

Each visualization is segmented by six lines, which represent dates approximately six months apart. The first line is July 2004 and the final line is January 2007. Web sites are ordered along each of these axes according to their traffic rank. The site at the top is the most visited web site on the internet, while the site at the bottom is the 500th most visited. Movement in rank is visualized by colored lines. Positive movement is shown in green while negative movement is shown in red. The saturation of the color is proportional to the intensity of the change. Neutral (horizontal) movement is rendered in brown. If a web site enterers or leaves the top 500 list, its line is shown starting or ending at the bottom of the graph (the 500th position). See captions for additional details.
